Category: Seafood
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

2 cups (8 oz) grated Queso Blanco or Monterey Jack cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
4 oz cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup minced green onions
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, pureed and strained
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 tsp grated lime zest
1/4 tsp ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
3/4 cup (about 3 oz) grated Cotija cheese*
2 1/2 dozen large, flat tortilla chips
2 1/2 dozen fresh cilantro leaves

*This cheese can be found in two varieties: medium-hard, which has a crumbly, feta-like texture, and extra-hard, which is similar to Parmesan. Either type can be used in this recipe. If Cotija cheese is unavailable, you may substitute feta, but may wish to omit additional salt.

Preheat broiler.

In medium bowl, stir together Queso Blanco or Monterey Jack cheese, mayonnaise, shrimp, onions, chipotle puree, chopped cilantro, lime zest and cumin. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread about 1 tbsp mixture onto each tortilla chip and place on a baking sheet. Broil until mixture begins to brown, about 1 minute. Sprinkle each with generous tsp Cotija cheese. Put a cilantro leaf on each nacho and serve immediately.
